Backsplash in La Mesa, CA.
Backsplash for La Mesa homes, done by insured San Diego County remodelers we match to your project. A new backsplash is the highest-impact, lowest-disruption kitchen upgrade you can make. We install subway, zellige, large-format porcelain, marble, and mosaic tile on a proper substrate, set it in modified mortar, and finish with grout or caulk at the counter and corner transitions so the job looks new again in five years..
Why is backsplash different in Central San Diego?
Older San Diego, North Park, and South Park backsplash projects often replace a dated 4-inch granite slab with a full tile or slab backsplash. We demo the old material, check the substrate, install cement board or a KERDI panel as needed, and set the new tile with clean grout lines and color-matched silicone at the counter and corner transitions.
